increased the potential for harm for Resident A

stated Resident A had a brain injury seven
years ago and had been a resident at the
facility for the past six years. FM 1 stated
Resident A was wheelchair bound and required
multiple medications. FM 1 stated the facility
sent Resident A to (name of hospital) HOSP 1
on June 17, 2019, for a psychiatric evaluation,
and Resident A was supposed to stay at HOSP
1 for a few days to adjust his medications. FM
1 stated Resident A's medications were
changed, Resident A's condition improved, and
when the doctor at HOSP 1 called the facility to
have Resident A re-admitted to the facility, the
facility would not accept Resident A back.
On June 28, 2019, at 10:16 a.m., Resident A's
record was reviewed and indicated Resident A,
a young adult, was admitted to the facility on
July 19, 2013, with diagnoses that included
traumatic brain injury and history of seizures.
The record indicated Resident A required
extensive 1-2 person assistance for his
activities of daily living, was wheelchair bound,
and had a BIMS score of 12 (Brief Interview
Mental Status-standardized assessment used
to determine cognitive ability with score of 0
lowest and 15 highest). The History and
Physical, dated August 30, 2018, indicated
Resident A did not have the capacity to make

indication of a discharge or written discharge
summary for Resident A.
On June 28, 2019, at 11 a.m., the Case
Manager (CM) was interviewed and stated
Resident A had been at the facility for years,
his family lived close by and visited Resident A
almost daily. The CM stated the goals when
Resident A was sent to HOSP 1 were to get
Resident A evaluated by the hospital's
Psychiatrist and then get Resident A
transferred to an acute rehabilitation facility.
The CM stated Resident A needed a three day
qualifying stay at the hospital in order to be
transferred to another long-term care facility.
The CM stated Resident A's behaviors at the
facility were escalating. HOSP 1 had more
options for Resident A, and was better able to
find another facility for Resident A to go to. The
CM stated he spoke to HOSP 1's Case
Manager and HOSP 1 expected Resident A to
stay in the hospital about 7-10 days to adjust
his medications. The CM stated he reviewed
the changes HOSP 1 made to Resident A's
medications and did not talk to Resident A's
facility Psychiatrist about his condition or
medications when HOSP 1 wanted to
discharge Resident A. The CM stated the
facility's Administrator (ADMIN), Director of
Nursing (DON), and department supervisors
met and decided the facility would not readmit
Resident A due to his past behaviors.
On June 28, 2019, at 11:50 a.m., the DON was
interviewed and stated the facility thought
Resident A's medications were not working and
his behaviors were escalating before Resident
A was transferred to HOSP 1. The DON stated
she got a call form a nurse at HOSP 1 on June
21, 2019, that Resident A was ready to be
discharged back to the facility, and the DON
told the nurse the facility would not re-admit
